Pubs: 214 losses, 0 wins
How are you guys doing with the new matchmaking? I can’t seem to beat the top 1%, so my experience this season has been significantly disenchanting. My pubs went from 90% (real) Masters/Preds to 99%...

I’m pretty disappointed in your response. Even still, I mean no disrespect.
I have and will continue to share my experience and matchmaking findings here on the forum. Maybe you’re unaware, but I have shared multiple experiments—across multiple account types, here on the forum.
When I play at full capacity, I occupy the top bucket of players (in pubs). Let me make this clear:
If a matchmaking system does not allow for downward mobility (losing matches grants easier lobbies), you end up locking players at the bottom of a bucket into a “fixed situation” where the rest of the people in said bucket beat them consistently.
Stay with me….
I have hit Masters every split except 3-4. I have solo queue twice to Masters. I am not great (Pred level), but I am certainly above average. The issue is: matchmaking drops me in the top bucket and I’m exclusively playing Preds and better Masters. So I (and plenty of other players) are locked into a situation where we lose more BECAUSE we are above average.
I don’t want to bully weaker players consistently, LMAO. That would be so lame. But I also don’t want outcomes that are similar to (and in some instances worse than) people who are less proficient than me. I think this is a TOTAL SANE AND FAIR expectation. Your outcomes should be in direct correspondence to your skill level (as it deviates from the average/median skill).

@Axs5626Sxa5001Yes, this is the bucket I'm in. Nothing but Master/Pred lobbies forever. I've maintained a 3-4 K:D since season 3, this season my K:D is less than half of last season. Avg Dmg from ~1100 to ~600.
It feels like I'm being punished for being decent at the game. I'm being kept away from 95% of the population. Constant sweat-fests are not fun.
On top of that, more cheaters than ever.
I just uninstalled. My Valk skin will have to wait to be leveled-up I guess.

You ever work overtime and get a check that’s actually less than people who worked less (due to taxes). That’s the feeling of matchmaking right now for above average players, lol.
